Traditional buffalo wings are deep fried and made with lots of butter. These are broiled to reduce fat and calories and we eliminated the butter altogether. You can adjust the heat to your taste. Great for appetizers, lunch or dinner!

Place wings on a broiler rack and broil on low, about 8 inches from the flame for about 10-12 minutes on each side. (All ovens are different so be careful not to burn and make sure it is cooked before removing)

While chicken cooks, heat the remaining hot sauce until warm. Toss the hot sauce with the chicken and arrange on a platter. Serve with celery and carrot strips and blue cheese dressing or dipping.

O M G!!!!!!!!! I made this tonight with boneless skinless chicken thighs since hubby is one of the few men who doesn't care for wings, or any chicken on the bone.

I am sure it would have been even more flavorful on the bone, but we didn't miss it. SOOOOO good and super juicy. Gina, thanks for the tips on low broil setting. I used to do chicken on high and it always overcooked. This works sooo well-faster than the oven but still mmm mmm juicy.

I got this recipe on another site too and it is AWESOME. Only problem with it that I had was trying to take the skin off these little suckers. I just gave up after about 5 of them, cooked with skin on, I am sure that added way too many points but the taste of this recipe is great!

I have a question - I am putting these into my WW online recipe favorites. Their calculator assigns a point plus value of 3 to just one wing, cooked, with skin and bone. Am I doing something wrong in the calculations? thx! Tricia

Hi there,What temperature on the broil? My oven makes me select a temp. I am making these along with your buffalo chicken dip and crock pot 3 bean turkey chili. The chili is amazing. This is the second time I am making it.

These sound great. I heard if you put chicken on a cooling rack on a baking sheet, then it will come out crispier. Are those crispy? I was thinking I could bake @ 425. I have an electric oven with broiler settings.

I also made these for Superbowl, along with the Blue Cheese dressing. Both are delicious! I love that there is no butter! I used chicken tenders and they were nice and juicy. I used the marinade as written, and only brushed on the hot sauce at the end- loved it! Used some of the Blue Cheese for an iceberg wedge salad the next night-soooo good! Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes! ~Amy :)

Made these last night and my buffalo wing-craving daughter loved them! They were super easy. One word of caution though, I would go by the weight of the chicken when buying wings rather than the number. I bought 3-pounds of chicken at my local grocery store which only worked out to be 12 wings. (They were pretty big)Also, I did put a tablespoon of light butter in the sauce at the end before tossing with the wings. A little bit of butter goes a long way to adding richness to the sauce.Thanks Gina for all of the great recipes!

I have a suggestion...Before I make wings I steam them to render the fat- it's gross how much fat is left in the water when I'm done and helps them turn out even crispier! It does add a bit of prep work to them but I just do it and throw them in the refrigerator after lunch and bake them up for dinner! Just a suggestion, take it or leave it but it may help decrease the fat and calories even more :)

Will try grilling these this evening for BF, but when I calculate the recipe on WW site I come up with 12 points plus for 1/9th of the recipe. Doesn't matter to me as I'm not a fan but he will still benefit from the cooking method. Who knew garlic powder and paprika have points!?!?!? Thanks for the blogging and recipes!

I tried these they were sooo good, instead of marinating them 30 minute prior I did the night before and I actually cooked them in the oven because I didnt know how to place them in the broiler, anyways these came out so delicious!! I'm making these again this friday for a Halloween party! can't wait to try these again!

My family loves hot wings and I can't wait to try these. Would Franks Buffalo wing sauce work too? Do you bring the remainder of the sacue to a boil before putting it over the cooked wings since it has raw chicken juice in it?

Made these for my husband and his friends for their superbowl party, and they were a hit! They never would have known they were "light". I was so worried when he wanted me to make the wings but these turned out great, thanks!!!

I'm super excited to try these tonight! Ever since I got married 4 months ago, I've been cooking almost exclusively from this site and my husband is amazed with every meal! I'm doing this recipe with drumsticks- will they still get cooked through by broiling or should I bake them first?

If you're worried about broiling them or having trouble with it, this is what I do. It takes longer, but they will come out as crispy as fried chicken without any frying. - Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. - Drop the wings in Boiling water with lots of salt (too salty to be tasty, but not enough to make you gag) for 8 minutes. Pat them all dry. I usually just use a couple towels for this, and soak them in a sanitizing solution while they cook. - Use *non-stick* aluminum foil, and even then I would recommend a light coating of cooking spray. They will stick very easily. Line the baking sheets with it. - Bake them for 40 minutes in total. The first 15 minutes I take them out and drain any grease from the fats quickly and pop them back in. Turn them over entirely for the last 10 minutes.

These have always come out crispy-as-fried, tender and falling off the bone inside with no extra coatings of anything.

I want to make these for supper tonight; I have one problem though. I can't handle spicy food. My husband loves spicy so this is perfect for him. However, for me can I just substitute BBQ for the Franks Red Hot?

Ever since my diet, I haven't been able to go to our favorite local wing place (one wing for almost 300 calories, yikes!). I tried this recipe with an open mind though not expecting a comparable taste. This was a GREAT substitute. My boyfriend was shocked that these tasted better than the restaurant while being so much healthier! We will definitely be having these again soon. Thank you so much Gina for all your hard work. :) I have lost 30 pounds so far by exercising and using your amazing recipes. Can't wait for the book.
